    Ginger is a 8-yo lab mix, and a rescue that's new to us, and she only hides from two things so far. My old lady's rice cooker, the lid jiggles at some particular freq, and when I play my bass, I jiggle at some particular freq. Is there any science behind it? When I practice it's not too loud - you know, room temp.

    I don't know about science, but your rice is safe and your practice time will be undisturbed. ;)

    Pretty much--and with a dog in your avatar you can be trusted on this...

    Poor dog can't appreciate bass. Maybe play it unamped and it may get used to the idea when it sees the smile on your face.

    No way I give up rice for a dog.

    Dogs hear a lot that we can't, and I would think some frequencies are really making the poor pup crazy.

    Thanks for adopting an 8 years old dog. Since your dog is 8 years old you do not probably know her history. Perhaps she had some unpleasant experiences with loud noises in her past or may have been mistreated. Give her some slack and perhaps she will get better. Just sayin.

    I had the quietest little dog ever, but he howled every time I tried to play the Star Spangled Banner on my harmonica.
